Google is changing at special events, celebrations, etc. a special image displayed instead of the usual logo. Today it was Charles Darwin’s 200th Birthday and the image was pointing to “charles darwin” results page. The fact I found interesting is that not all the google domains were displaying Charles Darwin google logo.
Initially, I thought it depends on time zone, but it seems not. Google UK, Brazil, India have this logo:
while Google.com and Google.us displays the regular logo:
This difference might come from the evolutionst/creationist opinions and beliefs in different countries. How near is the day when google will localize their logo based on your profile and your own beliefs?
After I wrote this post I got the first comment from Bob (Texas). He has seen al the day the Darwin logo. So the aparantly the logo is not displayed based on domain extension country or location. A possilbe explanation would be that the logo is not updated on all the google servers…
